Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb beef sirloin
  • ½ cup plain yogurt
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro
  • 1 whole lemon
  • 1 medium onion
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut the 1.5 lb beef sirloin into 1-inch cubes. In a bowl, mix the beef with 0.5 cup yogurt, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp ground cumin, and 0.5 tsp salt. Let marinate for 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    While the meat marinates, make the chutney: blend 1 cup cilantro (stems and leaves), juice of 1 lemon, 0.5 tsp salt, and 2 tbsp water until smooth. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Thread the marinated beef onto skewers, pressing cubes together snugly. Slice the 1 medium onion into thick rings.

  4. 4

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over high heat. Grill the skewers for 8-10 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes, until charred on the outside and medium-rare inside (internal temperature 135°F).

  5. 5

    Grill the onion rings for 2-3 minutes per side until softened and lightly charred.

  6. 6

    Rest the skewers for 5 minutes. Serve with the green chutney, grilled onions, and extra lemon wedges if desired.
